Old person and future Luddite - assuming tech keeps going the way it currently is.
**REALLY PISSED** that I don't get to have a nice boring old age!

He is delusional.
Current 'America'* is anything BUT a force of good, order, and democracy.

*I am so ashamed of our country's "leadership" and those who support their actions.
No one was "run over" by a terrified woman trying to get herself out of a tight (and probably icy) situation.

Contrast these scenes with current peaceful protests in silly costumes objecting to the shredding of our basic rights. (2)

This whole thread.
At the time EVERYONE knew exactly what the MAGAs were about. It was very very clear - and horrifying.
Time has allowed this anti-democracy event to be twisted and modified in the minds of MAGA (and some who should know better) to ‘just a protest’. (1)
just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6

my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left

This is obscene.

NO one needs this much - and it is evident that most who have this much make poor* use of it (or use it only to amass more...).

Not, to clarify, because I am pro-Maduro, but because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE DOING.

Also, and everyone please join in on the chorus, WHAT ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES?

"President of Peace"?!?

Not once has there been any evidence of any behavior except that of an insecure bully.

1. Piss-poor repayment for the people’s kind response to stranded Americans after 9/11 & accommodation of a US base there.

2. Our current government cannot function *now*, so adding to the country’s size seems a really Bad Idea.

3. No. Just no.

No. No, I have not and will not subscribe to anything on Substack.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I need the BSky equivalent of a face-in-soft-warm-purring-fur for the whole day.

I tell myself over and over not to litigate past elections, but I do think I should be allowed one (1) free bitchslap on every “Donald the Dove” person in the United States.

These days I am (trying) to keep an emergency stash of pet and human food (no, not at “prepper” level) to make sure we are covered for at least a week in event of shortages/shipping issues.
I am grateful I can do that, and feel for those running hard just to keep up with ’today’s’ needs!

That’s what I did too - the state I lived in at the time had yet to implement Real ID, so it made sense to get the passport card when renewing the passport.

Kinda figured some sort of sh- - show was inevitable, tho did not expect something this bad!
